Not replying just to Ontario, but all above.

A big thanks for the reality check!  I am doing pretty good, and two of the 12 weeks are gone already,

When I read of seizures, and other problems I consider myself fortunate indeed. Even just post op. docs and nurses were surprised I had no pain, no headaches or other 'problems'. I am indeed fortunate, and it seems I will return to 'normal' in due course.

Thanks for  all the encouragement!

It will be interesting how my phone consultation with the chief surgeon goes on Monday 28th.
